ReFolkUs is back with a special pre-conference drop, where we will be releasing four episodes prior to the Folk Music Ontario Conference being held in London, Ontario on October 12th-15th.Named after Estelle Klein, a long-time advocate of Canadian Folk music and one of the initial founders of the Folk festival scene, the Estelle Klein Award honours the work of an individual or group that has made significant contributions to Ontario's folk music community. For the first time in 2023, the Estelle Klein Award has been divided into two separate areas of recognition - The Community Builder Award, and The Lifetime Achievement Award. In this week's episode, we chat to Treasa Levasseur, this year's recipient of the Estelle Klein Community Builder Award. Treasa's name is synonymous with community. When she puts her creative heart into a project, around her grows a fellowship of artists, students, and dreamers, inspired by her effusive joy, thoughtful curation, and intentional programming. In this interview, Treasa dives into the role and impact that music has had on her life from a young age, her very first folk music conference experience, the importance of having integrity and intention in music programming and some wise words about the love, strength and friendship that the folk community holds.Congratulations to Treasa Levasseur on the Estelle Klein Community Builder Award.Follow Treasa online:WebsiteSocial Media @treasalevasseur____________________Treasa Levasseur is a busy creative who wears many hats with enthusiasm.

The 381st Roadhouse started with a random track - one that seeded the rest of the show. Rockin' Johnny Band, Daddy Mack Blues Band, James Kinds, Paul Thorn, and Treasa Levasseur follow that thread in this edition.

The 359th Roadhouse takes a little different turn, steering away from traditional blues with new blues sounds as the destination. Jason Ricci, Beverly McClellan, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Treasa Levasseur, and Nick Moss deliver that new sound in an interesting hour of our favorite musical genre. It's another hour of the finest blues you've never heard - The Roadhouse.
